Adopt a Highway
The October clean up event was discussed. There was a surprising amount of trash collected, and a lot of
what was collected was plastics. It was also mentioned that the area in front of and around ABC looked
much better this time. In the past there had been a good deal of trash and debris there.
Pumpkin Recycling Event
Two tons of pumpkins were collected in West Chicago at this year’s Pumpkin Smash event. Warrenville
Park District contributed to the total collecting pumpkins from their community and delivering them to
the roll off dumpster at First United Methodist Church. Commissioner Blaus said the collection in
Elmhurst was as much as they had last year and they really had to smash the pumpkins down to fit them
all in.
